So webkit_dom_html_element_set_class_name() will be available again and 
webkit_dom_element_set_class_name() will be provided by the 
WebKitDOMCustom.cpp? 

Btw I've run into one more problem with this release and that is that it won't 
build :-)

...
make  all-am
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/progdan/sources/webkit/webkit-1.9.6'
/usr/bin/mkdir -p ./.deps/DerivedSources
make[1]: execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long
make[1]: *** [libWebCore.la] Error 127

Running make -n reveals, that the command which is supposed to be executed 
after mkdir is linking of libWebCore:

./doltlibtool --silent --tag=CXX   --mode=link g++ -fvisibility-inlines-hidden 
-fno-rtti -Wno-c++0x-compat -O2   -o libWebCore.la ............

The command is more then 132k characters long, which is quite insane. WebKit 
1.9.5 built OK for me, so probably some new object was added which makes the 
line too long.  Would it make sense to store the arguments in a file and then 
pass it all to doltlibtool by xargs? I did this manually and it linked OK, but 
my Automake skills are not good enough to incorporate this into the .am files 
:)
